a prayer


"Teach me the happy art of attending to things temporal
with a mind intent on things eternal."



Yes! This is my prayer. I've been reading Valley of Vision lately. It's a collection of Puritan prayers and devotions (written by Charles Spurgeon, John Bunyan, David Brainerd, Isaac Watts, and other men previously unknown to me) compiled by Arthur Bennet. This quote is from Valley of Vision, but I don't remember which prayer.
